Chapter 15

Li Huailin raised his head and found that his right hand was firmly gripping the left breast of the ice-cold beauty. The ice-cold beauty looked at him with anger, but Li Huailin noticed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Uh..." Li Huailin, feeling somewhat embarrassed under her glare, withdrew his hand, "I mean, why didn't you just strike me dead?"

"Are you really that interested in my chest?" The ice-cold beauty crossed her arms over her chest, blocking Li Huailin's view, and said resentfully.

"Uh... this... how to say..." Li Huailin really didn't know how to explain. Should he honestly tell her, "I actually have no interest in your chest, I just wanted you to strike me dead," which would make even less sense.

The people around them noticed that Li Huailin had directly touched the ice-cold beauty's chest, something that could only happen with her consent.

"That young man succeeded!" a middle-aged player shouted.

"Today I finally understood what 'sincerity can move even the hardest stone' means..." another player sighed.

"I'm starting to believe in love again."

"Kiss her!" Suddenly, a player in the crowd shouted loudly. This cry quickly resonated with everyone, and the cheers of tens of thousands of people instantly turned into "Kiss her!" "Kiss her!" "Kiss her!"

"Damn, I seem to have unintentionally accomplished something amazing again." Li Huailin, who was still confused, looked at the ice-cold beauty in front of him, "I mean, Miss..."

"What do you want?" The ice-cold beauty, seeing Li Huailin take a step forward, immediately asked nervously, "I've already been lenient enough by letting you touch me once, don't push your luck."

"Ah? I mean..." Li Huailin, seeing her misunderstanding, hurriedly reached out.

"Ah!" The ice-cold beauty suddenly screamed, and then a white light flashed, and she logged out...

"Hey? Hey? Hey?" Li Huailin was stunned, and then he looked at the crowd around him, who were also stunned. Taking advantage of their confusion, he immediately logged out of the game.

Taking off his helmet, Li Huailin wiped his sweat, "I feel like I've unintentionally caused a huge mess..."

Li Huailin didn't want to log back in right now. Fortunately, it was already close to his bedtime. After browsing the web for a while, he prepared to go to sleep.

He habitually checked the forum for "Heart of Glory."

Sticky Post: "Badass Brother Ramps Through Newbie Village, Warrior Mentor Suffers First"

Then there was a video link of Li Huailin slapping the warrior mentor, Alan Stern, repeatedly.

Post Owner: I and my friends are stunned.

1st Floor: I and my friends are stunned. Lower floors, pay attention to formation.

2nd Floor: I and my friends are stunned.

...

Refreshing the page, another sticky post immediately appeared.

Sticky Post: "Tens of Thousands Witness the Most Romantic Love Story in History"

Post Owner: Around 9 PM tonight, in the center square of God's Blessing City, a boy, to appease his angry girlfriend, was struck dead by system lightning 20 times, just to caress her face once more. In the end, he won her forgiveness, and they both logged out... I won't say more. I only have one thing to say: love can still be believed in.

The video link was even edited, not only capturing the grand scene of tens of thousands of people cheering, but also editing together Li Huailin's repeated "deaths" and "resurrections," set to a melancholic background score. Even Li Huailin, who knew what had happened, felt a bit moved.

1st Floor: I'm very moved.

2nd Floor: In the future, I want my boyfriend to propose to me like this.

3rd Floor: What's the name of the man in the video?

4th Floor: I want the man in the video.

...

664th Floor: Is it just me who thinks the man in the video looks a lot like the badass brother who slapped the warrior mentor in the sticky post?

...

790th Floor: What's the name of the beauty in the video? I'm willing to be struck by lightning for her.

...

...

"Damn, which bastard is spreading rumors, this is complete nonsense!" Li Huailin, after reading the post, wanted to strangle the person who wrote it. It was completely not like that. He didn't even know the ice-cold beauty's online name, and they were already being called a couple, and it was even said that they logged out together to do something.

"How the hell am I going to face those women who I'm supposed to grab and touch in the future?" Li Huailin was really at a loss.

Frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair and continued browsing the web. Soon, another post caught his attention.

"Breaking News, the Goddess in the Sticky Post is My Cousin"

Post Owner: I am Red Army of Women's Guild, Red Yan Drinking Water. The goddess in the sticky post is my cousin, Red Dust Rain. She and that man are not a couple. That man wants to pursue my cousin, and my cousin is very satisfied with him, but I can attest that they did not log out together!

1st Floor: Don't make it up.

2nd Floor: The post owner is lying, it's my cousin.

3rd Floor: I am the post owner, what I said is true.

4th Floor: I still believe the story in the sticky post.

...

...

"Red Dust Rain?" Li Huailin believed it because only he knew that he really didn't know the ice-cold woman. This post wasn't lying, "Red Army of Women's Guild? What a funny guild name, I wonder if everyone's name starts with 'Red.'"

Silently remembering the name, Li Huailin continued reading the posts. Soon, another post made him jump.

"'Leave a Mark' dares to kill me, remember this, if you have the guts, come to the coordinates in the southern city tomorrow for a one-on-one, or I'll find people to kill you back to level zero."

Post Owner: If you have the guts, come, I'll fight you one-on-one!

1st Floor: You're S13, who would go.

2nd Floor: I am the post owner, 1st floor, who are you calling S13, do you want me to kill you back to the newbie village?

3rd Floor: Come and bite me.

...

...

"Damn, I'm such an idiot, why did I go and tease a woman for no reason?" Li Huailin suddenly realized, "I could just find someone to kill me, why did I cause so much trouble?"

Li Huailin immediately went to the official website to look up information about PK. There wasn't much, but he learned that the official stance was that PK within the same faction was neither encouraged nor prohibited, and there were certain penalties for the initiator.

Li Huailin quickly returned to the forum and searched for PK. Sure enough, he found a technical post that detailed the PK mechanics.

PK is divided into PK within the same faction and PK between different factions. For PK within the same faction, the name of the first attacker turns brown for 30 minutes. If the attacked party retaliates and kills the attacker during this time, the attacker will drop one piece of equipment with 100% probability and lose 20% of their current level experience, and the retaliator will not gain infamy. If the attacker kills the other party, the other party has a 50% chance of dropping one piece of equipment and loses 10% of their experience, and the attacker gains 1 point of infamy. If the infamy exceeds 5 points, the player cannot enter the city and will be arrested by the guards. If the infamy exceeds 10 points, the main city will issue a bounty, and the player who kills this person will receive experience and money rewards.

For PK between different factions, it is encouraged. The six races in "Heart of Glory" are divided into two factions: the Order faction (humans, dwarves, elves) and the Chaos faction (demons, undead, orcs). Players from different factions who kill each other do not gain infamy and can earn honor points, which can be exchanged for military merit.

"Great! Got it!" Li Huailin, after reading the technical post, excitedly waved his hand, "Tomorrow, I'll implement Plan B, find someone to PK and get killed. Damn, the 20% experience gain from being killed in retaliation is amazing, definitely more than teasing a woman, and it's safer. That's it!"

With a face full of excitement, Li Huailin happily went to sleep.
